Thanks for your detailed patch! Yeah, if we move the enum migrate_reason to
another header file it will attach it easily. The previous mail I said the
tricky point is that we build the "everywhere relationship" on the basis of
maintaining the original file structure, sorry for the confusing misleading.
I think we should not change a lot for a slight synchronization.

For now we can just apply the update in migrate_reason_name(maybe leave a
comment to notify) on this patch, I will send v2 patch soon include the "cma"
update. As for the trace_event synchronization, we can figure out a more
generic implementation in the future, so that other subsystem can use it to
catch a string info from its trace event header.

Thanks,
Weizhao
